2009 Saab 9-5 | Chorley, Lancashire

A 2009 Saab 9-5, the Swedish executive car known for comfortable travel and calm, understated styling. This one was built as the first generation drew to a close, before the redesigned second generation arrived. This car is finished in grey with a black interior, a quiet pairing that sits easily in business and corporate scenes. Its restrained lines and roomy cabin give advertising, photography, and fashion and editorial work a clean, uncluttered subject, and suit film and TV scenes set in the late 2000s. Swedish design of this period gives a frame a different flavour from the usual German executive cars. At events it makes smart arrival transport, and it is an understated choice for a wedding. The car is based in Chorley, Lancashire.
